 \n\n\nDescription\n\nWith budgets shrinking and communities trying harder 
 to be eco-conscious\, it is more important than ever to utilize our 
 resources wisely. This webinar will provide learners with an introduction 
 to three very common book construction issues that are endemic to the 
 modern construction of books with flimsy paper covers and ineffective 
 adhesives. The information will be presented in a way that any size library 
 can benefit from and provides a sliding scale of alternative tools and 
 materials for every budget.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nBy taking this 
 webinar\, participants will:\n\n\n	Understand the difference between 
 library book mending and archival book repair.\n	Discover how to improve 
 the strength of highly circulated library books so that they will have more 
 circulations.\n	Learn how your library can be more sustainable and save 
 money through relatively inexpensive\, quick fixes for very common modern 
 book problems.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\nSophia Bogle’s expertise is in book 
 restoration\, with over 30 years of experience restoring valuable books. 
 She has a diploma in Book Conservation from the American Academy of 
 Bookbinding and has been teaching book repair and restoration online as 
 well as in-person at libraries\, universities\, and to book collectors for 
 many years. Sophia received her MLIS from San Jose State University and is 
 currently working at both the Springfield and Eugene Public Libraries in 
 Oregon.\n\n\n\nAccessibility Information\n\nIf you have questions or
